I trade penny stocks a lot and am very impressed with some of the fills I get. Several times I've grabbed shares before breakouts, caught bottoms, and sold tops on volatile stocks. With other brokers such as TDA I am positive these orders would likely have never filled. I don't use any of the streaming data packages, but use EquityFeed like your review suggests. I was using EquityFeed with TDA because of the integration, but have found I can get better fills with Zecco even without the integration. You have to be quick with a mouse, but it is possible to beat the other traders. I've only had a few issues to contact customer service about, but have always gotten friendly reps who resolved the problem quickly.

I am an active trader, and everything was perfect until I experienced a problem with Command Center 2.0, they had technical problem, and because of that I lost significant amount of money. After I called them they gave me 10 free trades which is nothing compare to my loss. So, many hours on phone I wasted by trying ti get my money back, NOOOO. I called different brokers and explained situation, they were surprised, how it is so unprofessional, especially when I had a talk with main supervisor, it was terrific. So unprofessional person who manages people, she does not know how to do business. The company already lost more because my negative advertisement about company, and my inactivity. If TD is going to continue this kind of behavior they are going to be nothing, even with a good platform from Thinkorswim. There are a lot of brokers around, even much- much cheaper and better tools. My recommendation is do not deal with TD Ameritrade if you want to trade safely. I have been using TD Ameritrade for more that 2 years, not anymore.

The trades are very cheap ($3 per trade), there aren't any hidden fees or tricks to take more money. No maintenance fees or any other fees. The trade ticker is real-time, and trades take place within 1 second, with the option to cancel until about 3 seconds after. I've called their support line about 8 times to ask information, and I always immediately got on the phone with an intelligent representative who knew the answers to my questions. To receive 25 free trades, use referral code 564838 when signing up for SogoTrade. The free trades are valid for 90 days after signing up. A minimum of $500 needs to be deposited before you can begin trading. You can do free ACH transfers to and from your bank account. SogoTrade is probably the cheapest online-trader there is, with a service that is on par or better than the three other companies I used to use for stock trading.

On futures and emini day trading, they are more expensive then the cut rate futures only brokers. But, what I really like about them is very little slippage and very good execution. Chicago based and your order goes right into the CME. And, yes, microseconds matter a lot and I have used other brokers and nothing is more frustrating then your order sitting there never getting filled when you know it should have been. I also like the iPhone app they have. Lastly, for customer service this broker is outstanding. I can call day or night to execute a trade with no extra charge. And, they have always been helpful and courteous. I have used this broker for a number of years and am quite happy with them.
